Adult dose

The recommended dosage for this medication is 10 mg once daily for monotherapy and additional combination therapy with other glucose-lowering agents such as insulin. If dosage is increased, it can be adjusted to 25 mg once daily. The medication can be taken regardless of meals, and the tablets should be swallowed whole. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered, but do not take double doses in one day.

This medication should not be used in patients with allergies to the active ingredient or any of its components. It should not be administered to patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Patients with genetic lactase deficiency, lactase enzyme deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should also avoid this medication. Patients with reduced kidney function must check their kidney function before using this medication and should regularly monitor kidney function during treatment. Since the effectiveness of blood sugar control is highly dependent on kidney function, it is not recommended for patients with severely impaired kidney function. If insulin or sulfonylureas are taken concurrently, there is a risk of hypoglycemia, so the doses of these medications may need adjustment when taking this medication. Hypoglycemia symptoms may occur while taking this medication, so precautions are required, especially when taken with insulin or sulfonylureas. Women may experience vaginal infections or vulvar infections, and men are at risk of genital infections such as balanitis; if infection symptoms arise, immediate treatment is necessary. Increased urination may occur, so it's important to be aware of this, and urinary tract infections may also occur, so if symptoms appear, visit a hospital. Symptoms of reduced fluid volume or dehydration and hypotension may occur, so caution is especially needed for the elderly or patients taking blood pressure medications. In severe cases, serious infections such as necrotizing perineal infection may occur, so if any pain, swelling, or redness around the genital area occurs, immediately alert medical personnel. This medication can cause serious metabolic abnormalities such as ketoacidosis, so if symptoms like vomiting, abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing occur, seek medical attention immediately. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant are advised not to take this medication, and nursing mothers should also discontinue breastfeeding as a precaution. Children under 18 years of age should not use this medication as its safety and effectiveness has not been established. No specific toxic symptoms have been reported in the event of overdose; however, if symptoms occur, appropriate treatment should be sought immediately.
